The Numbers for a Savvy Investor - Warren Edward Buffett

Many times the numbers of a prominent person can provide insight
into the traits that have made that person successful in his or
her chosen field. Because the numbers are unique to the
individual, we may not be able to fully emulate that success.
But exploring the numbers can give clues that might be helpful.

Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930. He is
considered to be one of the most savvy investors in the world
and is probably the second wealthiest man in the United States
of America. His birth numbers are as follows:

Life Path 6
Expression 16/7
Soul Urge 2
Personality 5
Birth Day 3
Integrative Vision Number 5

In addition, from his intensification table, he has diminished
1s and an 8 karmic lesson.

From the fives and the three in his core numbers, you might
think that he is just lucky, because luck tends to follow these
numbers.

The 5 Integrative Vision Number says that he approaches life
with an insatiable curiosity. He has a vivid imagination that is
always asking, "What if we try it this way instead of using the
standard method?" The 5 seeks out a constant flow of new
opportunities. This is the side of him that is most readily
apparent to those who do not know him well. He can be perceived
as a risk taker, and at times, even irresponsible when he goes
against conventional wisdom.

In this case, appearances could be deceiving. Although he may be
ready to jump into an investment on a seeming whim, you can be
sure that before taking the leap that he has done his due
diligence. With a 2 Soul Urge, he is not comfortable until every
t is crossed and every i is dotted. All the figures have to
prove themselves to his satisfaction. As he grows older this
need for intimate knowledge of each investment will increase
rather than diminish.

One of the secrets to his success as an investor comes from his
16/7 Expression. He likely sees the world from a different
viewpoint from most people. As a result he can see opportunity
where most people would see disaster. His keen analytical mind
ponders each detail. He will be aware of any potential problems
before he makes a move. He is additionally inclined toward
requiring a full understanding of any investment because his
self-confidence is not a strong as you might anticipate (shown
by limited 1s in his intensification table). His doubts make him
doubly cautious.

His true desire (2 Soul Urge) is to fade into the woodwork. He
is not too concerned about who gets the credit as long as the
job is done right. He has a good sense of proportion in his life
and places his emphasis upon those values that are significant
for society.

He is a truly caring individual, but to protect his often
sensitive feelings, he puts up a shield so only those whom he
allows can get close to him. Although he does not like
confrontation, his sometimes aloof demeanor can be
intimidating.

In 2004, he is in an 8 personal year, so we can expect him to be
making a significant major investment. He will be at the peak of
his game, so you may want to watch carefully what he is doing
and follow his lead. This should be a year of excellent
financial return for him.

You might be surprised that money is not a primary motivation
for him. In fact the flow of money in his life may be a bit out
of balance. He has a frugal side that will not allow him to
spend when the spending would be beneficial, but his spendthrift
side will sometimes go overboard on something frivolous. (8
karmic lesson)

As with most charts, you cannot isolate single numbers. This
combination of numbers has obviously worked well for Mr. Buffett.
He could have used this same chart to go into widely varying
fields. There really is not much that he couldn't do if he set
his mind to it. He has the talent to be a tremendously effective
teacher or writer. He could have been a musician or an actor or
a singer. Or perhaps a part of him regrets not having become a
medical doctor or a veterinarian. Not many of us have this
wealth of ability.
